Urgency

Medium

Quick answer

UH-19 means “Too many attempts to unlock the unit” on the scoped Altherma 4 H F family. Daikin records this trigger: Too many attempts to unlock the unit. Effect: Unit will continue operation. The table marks the reset as automatic.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Preserve the diagnostic state
  • Let the automatic reset logic decide
  • Preserve configuration and software context

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured handoff for UH-19

What a technician must be able to justify

A technician is coming

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Measured handoff for UH-19

    What they doGive the technician UH-19, both model numbers, the source trigger “Too many attempts to unlock the unit”, the effect “Unit will continue operation”, reset result and recurrence conditions. They should follow Daikin's configuration and software branch and compare live measurements with the service values before replacing parts.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Checks and evidence, step by step

Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. 1

    Preserve the diagnostic state

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Photograph UH-19 and the complete display. Record both unit model numbers, operating mode, requested temperatures, weather, system pressure shown to the user and the moment the code appeared.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

  2. 2

    Let the automatic reset logic decide

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Daikin marks this code as automatic reset. Do not cycle breakers or force repeated acknowledgements. Record whether the controller clears it and the exact operating state in which it returns.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

  3. 3

    Preserve configuration and software context

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Record recent commissioning, option, controller or official software changes. Do not change field settings, addresses, firmware or service parameters to make the code disappear.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

What it means

In guide 4P773391-1C (2026.02), Daikin assigns UH-19 to “Too many attempts to unlock the unit”. The documented trigger is “Too many attempts to unlock the unit” and the operating effect is “Unit will continue operation”. This is a precise controller decision for Daikin Altherma 4 H F — EPSK(S)04~14A + EPVX07~14S18+23A; it does not by itself prove which component failed.
